The Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (FMCIDE) in Nigeria has announced a $1.7 million (2.8 billion NGN) grant from Google to promote the development of artificial intelligence (AI) talent.

This funding will support the Ministry's AI initiatives and aligns with Google.org's commitment of $5.8 million for digital skills programs across sub-Saharan Africa.

This funding will support Data Science Nigeria in training 20,000 youth in data science and AI, 25,000 educators to teach AI, and policymakers on AI policy.

Nigeria's AI market is expected to grow significantly, with new funding aimed at making Nigeria a leader in AI innovation.
